Reiss’s son Hans would later write that the pair established a good working relationship, despite the circumstances of the acquisition, with Reiss mentoring Burda's transition to managing a much larger business and Burda enjoying the firm’s more informal culture. Īfter the acquisition, Burda invited Reiss to stay on at the company to help manage the transition of ownership. One of Fritz's contacts, Robert Wagner, had the high-level political and banking contacts necessary to approve the deal and secure finance for the acquisition. At the time Burda did not have sufficient capital to buy the business outright, so he paired with Karl Fritz, owner of Südwestdruck. Reiss pitched unsuccessfully to several potential buyers before a mutual contact told him of Franz Burda's interest. Īs a forced seller, Berthold Reiss was obliged to find a buyer for the firm or face the appropriation of its assets and his personal destitution. Its owner Berthold Reiss and fellow shareholders were Jews, meaning that they were forced to sell the business under the " Aryanization" laws relating to all Jewish-owned businesses in Nazi Germany.
It was one of the largest and most modern printing companies in the German Reich, with some 250 employees. In 1938 Franz Burda and partners acquired a major printing facility, Großdruckerei, Papiergroßhandlung und Papierwarenwerk Akademiestraße Gebrüder Bauer in Mannheim. A second and larger phase of growth began in 1934, with the acquisition and development of new printing operations and the conversion to gravure printing. In the early 1930s, the magazine achieved a circulation of over 85,000, and the staff grew from three to roughly 100.
In 1929, Franz Burda Sr took over the business from his father, along with the editorial duties for Sürag. Its initial circulation was 3,000 copies. Its name sounded like a short form of Süddeutscher Rundfunk. In 1927, the company produced Germany’s first radio listings magazine, "Die Sürag", (subtitle ‘'The Large Radio Magazine’'). The venture was largely unsuccessful, prompting Burda to start a new company in Offenburg, in 1908. And they were soooo good for cycling! I am looking now for a similar pattern with little bit narrower hips.Wedding photo of Aenne and Franz Burda Sr (1931) Founded as a printing company įrom 1903, Franz Burda ("I"), the father of Franz Burda Sr ("II") and grandfather of Franz Burda Jr ("III") ran a small printing business in Philippsburg. I am going to blog about them very soon!īy the way, I was wearing those not very successful wide pants from previous post very often! I added a wide elastic to the bottom of the legs and liked them more that way. Leggings are not the best fit too but I use them all the time! They are so comfy, I spent a week in them during our road trip. I am not very happy about fit of the swimsuit and how I attached the elastic but I am going to use it and make a better version. I didn't wear the crop sweater yet but hope I will use it later. Semeon is wearing his shorts all the time! Maybe I will make one more pair because it is nice to see him in me-made garments. So I made a crop sweater, leggings or yoga pants, cargo shorts for Semeon and a swimsuit. But 3 of these 4 items are in use all the time. I finished only 4 items till September and don't think I will have much sewing time in the next few months. I am not a very productive seamstress this year.
